At last, Cardiff City sign me.
The fee not much but, hey, it's more
than they paid Fowler or Hasselbaink!
While 5,600 Bluebirds (plus the extras in the Liverpool sections) head for shellsuit and tache land tomorrow night, the game being played on a Wednesday meant that Friday's night Championship fixture at Blackpool was shelved.
The way City are performing in the league right now, maybe some of us are grateful for the break. We can also watch the Joe Calzaghe fight instead for some long overdue atmosphere.
However it caused mayhem for those of us with advanced plans to go to Blackpool including travel and hotel reservations which had to be made in advance given it was also last weekend of the illuminations. In my case, it left with a £200 hole in my pocket for pre-booked non-refundable advance train fares.
The hotel cancelled their charges (we have stayed with them before and will again) but to the rescue came Cardiff City and Peter Ridsdale with the magnificent gesture to refund all out of pocket costs as a result of the Blackpool postponement. It wasn't the fans fault for this problem but it wasn't the club's either and I can't think of any other who would help out like this. The club will, in turn, try to get reimbursement from the Football League but decided to refunds supporters regardless of whether this happens or not.
Today came my refund and I cannot thank Cardiff City enough for their assistance and outstanding gesture.
I salute you CCFC and Mr Ridsdale
